Does anyone here have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis?
I was diagnosed about 4 months ago, after almost two years of going to doctors for multiple symptoms. A simple deeper drive into my thyroid numbers revealed this diagnosis. It took so long to find out and that months of PT, scans, x-rays, MRIs, neurological studies could have been avoided. But I am here now and wondering if anyone has experience managing symptoms and flares?

--- Hello AliceBean: Yes, I have Hashimoto.I manage symptoms with NP Thyroid... which nowadays I have to buy from Amazon...and I manage with less sugar in my diet, only rarely a cup of coffee, filtered water, meditation, exercise (which I have to get back to). All the best.

1 ReactionHi,
Prior to getting diagnosed I had several symptoms from muscle aches, brain fog, and almost had a hysterectomy. Found it really pays to listen to your gut feeling; doctors try to make the correct diagnosis but sometimes it is trial and error. After diagnosed with hashimoto disease, starting on medicine, some of my health issues was resolved.

1 Reaction@lmguen I had muscles aches and brain fog like you and other crazy stuff. I was tested for so many diseases like MS, Lime Disease, neurological symptoms, etc. I haven't been on the medicine long enough to feel much differently, but I am optimistic.
